This is not about Scrimgeour alone, but about all Aurors! The magic crystal improves the survival rate and execution performance of Aurors, so Zenith will always give them some face for the magic crystal discount.

Money! The Ministry of Magic pays, profit! He and the Aurors enjoy it together, favor! He enjoys it all by himself! Perfect business~(●′ω`●)

"It seems that you had a good chat with Mr. Scrimgeour." Lucius came over and clinked his glass with Scrimgeour.

"Yes, he is a very good young man. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Scrimgeour couldn't stop smiling. If the deal was done, his reputation among his subordinates would definitely be higher. Money! The Ministry of Magic would issue the award, and the credit for the achievement would be his. He would also have a better chance of promotion in the future. Hahaha~(●′?`●)

After a few words, Lucius took Ivan away. The party was halfway through, everyone was present, and they had had enough fun, so it was time to get down to business.

……

"So, Mr. Shafik thinks I'm a kid who knows nothing?" Ivan threw down the contract handed over by Shafik and maintained a polite smile, but the red heart beating in his chest began to turn black.

"No! I'm just proposing a reasonable solution for our mutual benefit."

The plan proposed by Shafik was a lot of nonsense. To sum it up, out of the 100 shares, he would have 10%, and they would buy the rest and divide it equally.

Then the Malfoy and Greengrass families gave up a little more to ensure that they could get a fair share, and the two families would still be the largest shareholders. No one would have more than 3% of the shares than them, and the right to speak would still be theirs.

"Is it reasonable? I have 60% of the shares, Uncle Lucius and the others have 20% each, and with you guys in, I'm no longer the largest shareholder, so I'm equal to you guys?

Excuse me! I am not in debt and have to sell my shares, and I don’t owe you any money, so why should I give up my biggest interest? Is this your attitude when doing business? "

Ivan's tone was unfriendly, and Lucius and Greengrass' faces were not looking good either.

Lucius cursed these bastards in his heart. It was obvious that they were working together. By then, it would appear that he and Greengrass each had 3% more than them.

But later on, when they make some deals behind the scenes and concentrate the shares, they will still try to seize power!

Nott and the Yaxleys might not, but Shafik and Selwyn and those old bastards are obviously in cahoots with each other, and they are taking revenge on him for not agreeing to their shareholding request in the first place!

"Oh~ don't get excited, kid. We are doing this for your own good." The head of the Travers family advised with a wry smile.

"That's right. Although we have the same shares, the production rights are still in your hands! And Malfoy and the others were the first to support you. Isn't it reasonable to give them more shares? People should be grateful." Selwyn looked earnest.

Heh~ The contract they just handed over stated that as the manufacturer, he was responsible for the quality and efficiency of the magic crystals! In other words, if he wanted to retaliate against them by reducing production, he would have to pay the price according to the contract!

And if they all agree that the production efficiency of magic crystals is not up to standard, then it is his problem and he also needs to compensate for the losses.

As long as he signed the contract, he would be like a fish on their chopping board, at their mercy.

"Child, you may not understand as you are still young! In the wizarding world, status is everything, and we are the ones with the highest status! If you want Zenith's business to spread throughout the wizarding world, it will be very difficult without our help.

Lucius and the others can help you, but it is far from being as quick and convenient as adding more helpers. Although you have great potential, your background limits you. We can only express our regret for this."

Shafik's tone was emotionless, sounding like a warning, but also like consolation.

But Alvin sounded very unhappy.

"Old man, are you threatening me? If I don't listen to you, you're going to shut down my business, right? Who the hell do you think you are?" (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Ivan flipped the table and said, "Damn it! You guys are just living off your old capital. How dare you ask him such a shameless request! I didn't settle the accounts with you enough when Voldemort fell, right?"

"Shafik, you have to think clearly! It is you who are begging us to form a partnership, not us begging you! Be aware of your current position."

"That's right. Don't think that we will compromise just because you have more people. If you want to take the steak from the Malfoy family's plate, don't you see what your current status is?"

Greengrass and Malfoy were also annoyed. This was a blatant robbery from them!

Shafik and his companions were also dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Malfoy and the others would turn against them. You know, even if they were asked to give up some shares, the money they deserved would not be reduced at all, and they were all pure-bloods. Would they turn against them just for a Muggle?

Forget about Greengrass, Malfoy, have you forgotten who we are? Death Eaters! I told people that we were all under the Imperius Curse, and you really took it seriously?

We are all Death Eaters, and we have all spent half of our family fortunes trying to escape. Shouldn't we help each other recover and wait to serve that lord in the future?

Selwyn didn't understand Malfoy's behavior.

"Don't talk to me about bloodline. Even though your bloodline is so awesome, you still have to be a dog beside Voldemort!" Ivan got close to his face and fired his ultimate.

Shafiq Selwyn and the others all widened their eyes.

"How dare you call him by his name! You really don't know how to live or die." Nott shook his head in shock.

Selwyn was observing Lucius's face. You know, he was also included in the insult.

Lucius had a blank expression on his face and didn't care at all!

That was all in the past. Now he is a man with great ambitions, dedicated to revitalizing his family! As for the past, it is just a little bit of vicissitudes.

"Boy, do you know what you are talking about!" Shafik's eyes flashed with ferocity.

"I know. Isn't it just that you are Death Eaters? Besides, Voldemort's real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and he is also a half-blood. Didn't you surrender just the same? Don't you think I don't know? Why are you pretending to be so ignorant in front of me?"

Ivan put one foot on the overturned table and put one hand directly on Shafik's nose. At the same time, he looked at Shafik with his nose, so arrogant that people could not bear to look at him.

"Haha~ Who told you such a ridiculous statement?"

"Our headmaster, Dumbledore! What's the matter? Are you afraid to admit it, or are you unwilling to accept it? If you don't accept it, do you want me to call the headmaster over to confront you?"

Everyone:...

"I'm going to make this clear today. Anyone who wants to invest can only hold 8% of the shares! My business will expand in the future. This 8% of shares can bring you incredible income. If you're interested, come. If you're not interested, I won't serve you! This is the condition. Come if you want!"

Shafik and others looked at this ignorant boy with dark faces and unfriendly expressions.

Ivan glared back, not wanting to be outdone. Let's have a try! It just so happens that the Shadow Legion hasn't officially used it yet, and the newly made Alchemical Machine Gun has no place to be used!

Chapter 219: If the negotiation fails, let the ghost talk to you!

Not willing to be outdone, Alvin glared at the old men in front of him with his nose, and the situation once again fell into a stalemate.

"Ahem~ I think there is one more thing you need to think about clearly. We are now in the same boat with Zenith Wizard Finance. What you are doing is also infringing on the interests of our Malfoy and Greengrass families. Are you planning to declare war on us?"

Lucius added fuel to the flames of the contest with his arrogant, cold and disdainful tone.

He is really not afraid of the bastards on the opposite side now. The batch of toys that Mr. Bartlett gave him a while ago are quite interesting. He is looking forward to what the scene will be like when he actually uses them.

It can't be used openly, but now that things have come to this, it's not surprising that there will be conflicts in private, right?

As long as we don't get discovered by that guy Arthur.

"Lucius, do you really have to do this?" Selwyn's face became even uglier.

"It's not that I have to do this, but do you have to do this?"

"That's right! We came here with sincerity to discuss cooperation. It's you shameless old thieves who want to take advantage of my young age. Since we can't reach an agreement, let's not talk about it anymore!"

Alvin didn't care. After all, there were few people in this group whom he knew at school. Only the young master of the Nott family was in the same grade as him, and there were basically no others.

What's more important is that it seems that some people don't even have sons or grandchildren! It seems that they will have no descendants.

Like Selwyn!

If others are sincere, he doesn't mind continuing to cooperate. If they are not sincere, then go away! I won't serve you!

"Okay! You ignorant boy, let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" Shafik gritted his teeth.

He actually got humiliated in front of a Mudblood! When he gets back, let's see how he deals with this Mudblood.

"Shafik, I'm warning you! We also have shares. If our business is affected and the amount of gold galleons we earn decreases, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Lucius sat down again and crossed his legs, not taking the idiots opposite him seriously at all.

Greengrass, this steady man, stopped looking at them after he expressed his opinion. When Voldemort was in power, he dared to choose to wait and see. How could he be afraid of those idiots who had lost half of their wealth?

"Okay! Then we'll see."

"Tsk~ Stop pretending, if you want to leave, just leave now. You just want to say something harsh and then leave in style, who are you trying to scare~" (?д?。)

Alvin still refused to give any face and ruthlessly sabotaged them.

"You! Humph, I won't bother with children."

"Yes, yes, yes. Are you leaving or not? If not, I will leave." Ivan didn't even look at Shafik. He brushed off the non-existent dust on his body and turned to walk out.

Lucius and Greengrass followed closely behind, saying goodbye and following.

"Oh, by the way, if our industry is hit from today on, I will regard it as your fault. If you are unhappy, I can only say sorry~

If it has nothing to do with a certain gentleman, then there is nothing we can do. We should blame the person who started it first."

When they walked downstairs, Alvin added a sentence in front of everyone, letting everyone know about the unpleasantness between them.

"Kid, don't be too high-profile. Sometimes it will bring you bad consequences!" Travers still had that fake smile on his face.

"Hmph, take care of yourself first. I want to see how long your store can stay open." Shafik threatened coldly. He kept his eyes on Lucius while speaking, and it was obvious that he was not just talking to Ivan.

"Hey~ Mr. Scrimgeour, you heard it all! The business negotiation just broke down, Mr. Shafik and his men are unhappy, and they want to take action against my property!

If something happens to me or my shop in the future, the inability to supply magic crystals is not a breach of contract on my part! If you want to find them, they are definitely responsible for the problem! They can't get away with it."

Instead of fighting back, Ivan ran to the Auror boss to complain. Even Lucius was stunned by this move.

No! Shouldn't he have expressed disdain at this time and then went home to prepare for a fight? Why did he just stab it out?

This is like two gangs declaring war, and on the first day of the fight, the opposing gang goes to the police station to report the case. The next day, when you gather your men, what you wait for is not your opponent, but fully armed policemen!

Scrimgeour didn't say anything, just glanced up the stairs. He was weighing the pros and cons. There were so many pure-blood saints, and Ivan was just a student from a Muggle family. It was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Don't worry kid, nothing will happen." Mr. Greengrass said as he walked up behind Ivan.

"That's right. If there is any accident, wizard law will give you justice, right, Director Scrimgeour?" Lucius also walked to Ivan to support him and nodded to Scrimgeour.

Stringer nodded. It was settled! With these two backing him up, he knew what to do.

"Don't worry, kid. Just like Mr. Lucius said, wizard law will give you justice."

Stringer didn't say anything, and someone else spoke. It was a middle-aged woman in a dark green wizard robe.

"Thank you, Director! By the way, Ivan, this is Amelia Susan Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic." Lucius thanked the visitor and introduced her to Ivan.

"Hello, Director." Ivan greeted politely.

This is the fair and honest director. It seems she is also from Hufflepuff! It turns out that all the people who come out of our Hufflepuff are honest people.

"You're welcome, kid. I've heard my niece mention you a lot. Thank you for taking care of Susan at school." Amelia gave a kind smile, but her expression seemed a little stiff, as if she had been serious for too long.

"As it should be. We are all classmates from the same academy."

The conversation here was lively, but the atmosphere on the second floor was not so good.

"It seems we underestimated this child," said Selwyn.

He didn't expect that this kid would not play by the rules at all!
